Yesterday I was browsing the $5 bin at my LGS. I found a real Zebra Skin rifle sling. He takes off slings and scopes off of the rifles he takes in trade. I think my Marlin will wear a safari theme for the forseable future, will post pic some time tonight.

I'm seriously considering joining the master race. My LGS has a Henry H010B on the shelf. The brass receiver, walnut stock and octagonal barrel just do it for me.
Should I fo? |

Is $829 a fair price? I know I could probably get it lower online but I don't mind giving the LGS some business....

This H011 and H011C use a specially-formulated hardened brass receiver with the same tensile strength as steel |

Followed the earlier link to those and spent some time thinking it over before FOing on one this morning. Noplace else like ARFCOM for costing me money. I know it'll probably hurt with anything warm, much like the Ruger #3 carbine that I got my introduction to .45-70 with. Hoping to have a lot of fun with plinking loads. If I can put together a decent shooting load with Lyman's Gould hollow point cast bullet design, might even shoot a deer or two with it. When this one arrives, there will be a round dozen .45-70s here (if the T/C Contender barrel counts as one). Of course, boating accidents, etc, etc. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Of course, boating accidents, etc, etc. 30 years+ and I still remember what a stone bitch that little Ruger was to shoot 300gr JHP factory loads out of before adding a pad, etc. Was already planning to make sure that the PAST recoil shield gets packed, but now I'm at the stage of double and triple checking it's along before heading out. Fortunately, factory loads aren't the only thing I'm bringing. Even thought about digging around for the Lyman collar button bullets I cast up years ago and throwing together some cray light gallery-type loads, but laziness is saying 'Nope, not today." Need to figure what other .45-70s to bring for a group shot. Probably the Browning/Miroku 1886 SRC, the Marlin SBL and the Century 6-shooter. Keeping with a short theme. |

I keep trying different loads to find this terrible recoil everyone mentions. I have not found it yet. Worst load I've tried recoils about like a 20ga 870 with slugs.

You can hotrod the caliber, and get loads that aren't exactly enjoyable but I can't imagine youd get .45-70 recoil to be any worse than a 3.5 inch 12 gauge with a safe load. |

If you're in bear country and shooting a .45-70 fast enough to need a a loading gate you're gonna die anyway. because I can reach in my pocket and throw in a couple rounds to finish off imaginary bear attack, instead of screwing around with a tube. I have 2 Henry rifles like I said before. they are nice, slim and handle like any other lever gun, IOW sweet. I still want a loading gate on my centerfires. |
